Configuring local Gateway parameters 107 Applying the changes made to the Call Signaling Settings causes all H.323 calls to be dropped. It is recommended that you make changes to the Call Signaling Settings during off-peak hours or a scheduled maintenance window. Refer to Table 11 "H.323 Call Signaling Settings fields" (page 107). Table 11 H.323 Call Signaling Settings fields Field Value Description Call Signaling Direct Call signaling information is passed directly between H.323 endpoints. You must set up remote Gateways. Gatekeeper Resolved All call signaling occurs directly between H.323 endpoints. This means that the Gatekeeper resolves the phone numbers into IP addresses, but the Gatekeeper is not involved in call signaling. Gatekeeper Routed Gatekeeper Routed uses a Gatekeeper for call setup and control. In this method, call signaling is directed through the Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper Routed no RAS Use this setting for a NetCentrex Gatekeeper. With this setting, the system routes all calls through the Gatekeeper but does not use any of the Gatekeeper Registration and Admission Services (RAS). Choose this option if RAS is not enabled on the NRS. Call Signaling Port <port value> If VoIP applications are installed that require nonstandard call signaling ports, enter the port number here. Port number 0 means that the system uses the first available port. The default port for call signaling is 1720. RAS Port <port value> If the VoIP application requires a nonstandard RAS port, enter the port number here. Port number 0 means that the system uses the first available port.

You must set up remote Gateways. Gatekeeper Resolved All call signaling occurs directly between H.323 endpoints. This means that the Gatekeeper resolves the phone numbers into IP addresses, but the Gatekeeper is not involved in call signaling. Gatekeeper Routed Gatekeeper Routed uses a Gatekeeper for call setup and control. In this method, call signaling is directed through the Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper Routed no RAS Use this setting for a NetCentrex Gatekeeper. With this setting, the system routes all calls through the Gatekeeper but does not use any of the Gatekeeper Registration and Admission Services (RAS). Choose this option if RAS is not enabled on the NRS. Call signaling port <port value> If VoIP applications are installed that require nonstandard call signaling ports, enter the port number here. Port number 0 means that the system uses the first available port. The default port for call signaling is 1720. RAS port <port value> If the VoIP application requires a nonstandard RAS port, enter the port number here. Port number 0 means that the system uses the first available port. This specifies the source port that the BCM uses for sending out RAS requests. They will always be sent to port 1719. Enable H245 tunneling <check box> Select this field to allow H.245 messages within H.225. Primary Gatekeeper IP <IP address> Fill in this field only if the network is controlled by a Gatekeeper. This is the IP address of the primary Gatekeeper (TLAN IP address). Backup Gatekeeper (s) <IP address> NetCentrex Gatekeeper does not support RAS. Any backup Gatekeepers must be entered in this field. Gatekeepers that use RAS can provide a list of backup Gatekeepers for the endpoint to use in the event of a primary Gatekeeper failure.

Testing and troubleshooting procedures The sequence of testing and troubleshooting procedures is as follows: • "Testing" (page 137) — "Testing the integration from the BCM system" (page 138) — "Testing the integration from the CS 1000 system" (page 140) • "Troubleshooting" (page 140) — "BCM is unable to contact the gatekeeper at IP address" (page 140) — "Unable to complete any calls" (page 140) — " Cannot make calls between the CS 1000 and BCM" (page 141) — "BCM fails to register to NRS" (page 141) — " H.323 Gateway service is down" (page 142) Testing The CS 1000/BCM integration is considered successful if BCM and Network Routing Service (NRS) are able to register to each other. You can determine this from either the CS 1000 side or the BCM side. Successful call completion is not a criterion of integration success because call completion is dependent on the dialing plan and how it is implemented. For information about dialing plans, see Dialing Plans: Description (553-3001-183).

BCM is unable to contact the gatekeeper at IP address Step Action 1 Check whether you are able to ping the Gatekeeper across the network. If not, a routing issue can exist in your network. Contact your network administrator to resolve any routing issues. 2 Check that the correct Gateway endpoint IP address is configured in BCM. You may need to reset the feps service under the Service Manager. 3 Check that the correct Gateway endpoint IP address is configured in the CS 1000. 4 Check that the Alias name is properly configured in BCM. The alias name is case sensitive and must match exactly what is configured in the CS 1000. 5 Check that the Gateway protocol is set to CSE. —End— Unable to complete any calls Step Action 1 Check whether the BCM and Gatekeeper have established connectivity.
